Amtrak's 1340 Borealis is zipping under the Hoffman signal bridge in St. Paul. On this frigid January morning, they would have no major obstacles on their journey down the river subdivision. 517 looked and sounded great on this cloudless day.

Building named after Viscount Brendan Bracken who founded the Financial Times and had this building built to accommodate it. He, reputedly, dabbled in the occult, hence the astrological clock above the entrance. The face of his great friend, Winston Churchill, is represented as the sun god in the centre.
Built in 1889, this Richardsonian Romanesque-style building stands at the corner of Western Avenue and Selby Avenue in St. Paul’s Cathedral Hill neighborhood. The building was notably home to the W. A. Frost Pharmacy for much of its early history, being owned by Frost until his death in 1930, and remaining in business until 1950, whereupon the decline of the neighborhood and shifting demographics of the area led to its closure. In 1974, the building was purchased by the Rupp family and became home to the W. A. Frost Bar and Restaurant in 1975, which helped kickstart the revitalization and preservation of the surrounding Cathedral Hill neighborhood. The building is a contributing structure in the Historic Hill District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. The W. A. Frost Bar and Restaurant remains a popular local business today.
Built between 1894 and 1902, this Richardsonian Romanesque-style granite building was designed by Willoughby J. Edbrooke to serve as the United States Post Office, Courthouse, and Custom House for St. Paul. The building occupies an entire city block between 5th Street, 6th Street, Washington Street, and Market Street, and sits next to Landmark Plaza, Hamm Plaza, and Rice Park. The exterior of the building features multiple turrets, steeply pitched red tile roofs, multiple wall dormers, and two towers, one of which features a clock. The building has a very simple exterior with few ornately carved details, with the interior being much more grandiose, and featuring a massive five-story atrium, 20-foot ceilings, and extensive use of marble, oak, and mahogany. The building housed the city’s post office and custom house until the larger Eugene McCarthy US Post Office and Custom House was completed on Kellogg Boulevard in 1934, after which it served as the Federal Courthouse until the Warren E. Burger Federal Building and United States Courthouse was completed in 1966. Following the departure of the federal government, the building became unused and endangered, and was threatened with demolition. A local community group fought to preserve the building, with the building being listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1969 as part of these efforts. The building was restored to its original splendor during the 1970s, and reopened as Landmark Center in 1978, housing multiple arts organizations, and is owned and operated by Minnesota Landmarks, a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving historical buildings and sites in the state of Minnesota.

Built in 1915, this Tudor Revival-style limestone-clad mansion was designed by Thomas Holyoke for Watson and Sarah Davidson, whom made their fortune in real estate. The house was a private residence until 1961, when it became home to the College of Visual Arts, founded in 1948, which remained in the house until 2013, utilizing it as an administration building, classrooms, and art studios.

Inc.

The church is a contributing structure in the Historic Hill District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.

Built in 1883-1884, this Richardsonian Romanesque-style mansion was designed by Clarence H. Johnston, Sr. for Chauncey Wright Griggs, a former Colonel in the Union Army during the Civil War, and a wholesale lumber merchant and part owner of the firm of Griggs and Foster, and his wife, Martha Ann Gallup Griggs. The house was inhabited by Chauncey and Martha Griggs until they moved to Tacoma, Washington in 1887. In 1910, the house suffered a massive fire that gutted the interior, after which a massive reconstruction was undertaken. In 1939, the house was donated to the St. Paul Arts and Science Center by Roger B. Shepard, and the front dormer was replaced with a large and distinctive skylight shortly thereafter, to allow the conversion of the attic room behind it into a painting studio. The house has since been converted back into a private residence, and is widely rumored to be haunted. The house features a rusticated brownstone exterior with arched windows, stone cornices, gable parapets with decorative trim, shingled oriel windows and gable ends, and a circular tower with carved stone relief panels. The house is a contributing structure in the Historic Hill District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.
